Getting the kids settled in Adelaide

Last Saturday, the family arrived in Adelaide with all excitement especially upon seeing our home. The first order of business is to get the kids to school at Seaton Park Primary School and Findon High School. They youngest already started last Tuesday while the 3 in high school will start tomorrow.

From a foreigner's perspective, here are some observations:

• The school personnel are very friendly.
  
• It is a weird feeling when no one asks you to pay a fee upfront.
• Great to have your kids enter school even if it is already in the middle of the year.
• There are hardly any basketball court and they now have to catch up learning soccer.
• It is different when you don't have helpers at home as you are struggling to have enough time to do some serious blogging work.

I'm gradually picking up on sites to include in Ratified Australia and some I have made a blog post in relation to it. This includes:

• Phone call works best in response to "When to use e-mail and when not to".
• Lessons learned in launching and operating a membership-only site inspired by Yaro Starak's article series on membership-only site build-up.

I haven't really shared that much personal stuff in my blogs before. However, after getting to read through Karen Cheng's blog, I think I can also do it.
